Novus Glass branch has opened in Thames.

BY FIONA TARRY

This seems to be our logo at our new Novus Glass branch that officially opened on Friday, 13 June at 733 Pollen Street, Thames. Our team is made up of friends and family (and a small dog called Maymay), so everyone who comes in, sees and experiences the happy environment in which we work.

Our top two technicians/owners – Armand Bornman and Greg Tarry, both bring over 20 year’s experience in the automotive industry. Armand and his wife, Anel, built up a successful mechanic business, and after adding windscreen repairs and replacements to their list of abilities, they wanted to branch into that area more.

My husband is Greg Tarry and we have been working together for the last 20 years operating a small, mobile windscreen repair and replacement service on the Coromandel Peninsula. Their combined skills have produced a Novus Thames Branch that prides itself on its high standard of work and friendly customer service. Our mobile service is ready to come to you.

Our other passion is volunteering our time in the communities in which we live. Individually, we have all made this an important part of our lives. Hence, we all stagger the days we work so that we can participate in helping others and we choose to not open Saturdays so we can make our family life a priority.

We are here to provide a seamless service with a complete and personalised process and minimum disruption to you. Mobile technicians and preferred Insurance Supplier status keep us at the forefront of our industry. We’ll take care of it all so you don’t have to.

NOVUS Glass^® are the leading National Glass Repair team. Our Superior technicians at NOVUS Glass^® Thames will prioritise your claim, with a fully comprehensive service to suit your individual needs; – windscreen repair, windscreen replacement, glass restoration.
